I keep getting this spam as well, from different accounts but the same 'Nicole'. Different photos as well (of the same person). I've just been blocking them but it's really annoying because blocking them doesn't stop then from messaging me from different accounts.

I'd highly recommend Kagi! You can customise your search results as well, so you can make sure some websites show up more often than others (or even not at all), or higher up/lower down on the list.

Yikes! Does anyone know what happened?

I was wondering why it looked different from some of the screenshots I see here but when I play on mobile it's just an endless list that gets bigger and requires a lot of scrolling. Switched my browser to desktop mode and now I can see you can drag and drop stuff. These types of games are so simple but so addicting. Ahhh

Thanks for the tip! Checking it out right now. Does it also work if my mobile carrier isn't on the list?

Ugh I hate those ads. I had a OnePlus for a few years and forgot about all the bloat you get with a Samsung phone. Recently decided to go for a Samsung phone as the other options didn't seem much better. But now I keep getting ads from Google and Samsung in my notifications. I THINK I managed to disable some of it but it still keeps popping up once in a while.

Ugh I hate that with YouTube ads as well (at least on my Android TV). I'll watch something, get interrupted by ads, sometimes minutes long and/or multiple ads, and after the ad(s) it jumps seconds or even minutes ahead from where I was watching. Then when I rewind to the point I was at it'll often play even more ads. It's super annoying but if they think this convinces me to buy their premium subscription they're very wrong. It's so off-putting.

If this gets added I hope it's optional, because I really don't like it. I came across this feature in several Lemmy apps and and almost every time I scroll vertically the app registers it as scrolling horizontally and suddenly I'm up- or downvoting or even bookmarking a random comment.

Yeah there's an option in the settings called Remove Ads. The problem is, that option isn't working for me. When I tap that option all I get is a screen with the Boost logo and the text Remove Ads below it and that's it.

Slay The Spire and Monster Train are both very good, but often recommended. Other card games that are worth checking out: Gordian Quest, Vault of The Void and Across The Obelisk! The latter is a lot of fun when playing sigh up to 3 friends but it's good as a singleplayer game as well!

 

I must've been living under a rock or...well, I just haven't played The Sims 4 in a while and I didn't know the game had become free to play until recently. I also heard The Sims 5 is going to be free to play at launch. How do you feel about that and do you think it'll impact the game in any way?

I'm personally just worried the base game will be more limited in features if it's free to play but I hope I'm wrong!

I'm from Europe, and for years I'd been using WhatsApp because everyone expected me to even though I didn't feel comfortable using it at all (because I care about my privacy and apparently not all of my friends/family members do). At some point I was forced to accept new terms that basically said it was okay for them to sell my data and that's where I drew the line and told everyone that I would no longer be using WhatsApp and that if they wanted to reach me they could call me, text me or message me on Telegram. I immediately uninstalled it.

I noticed friends and family found it a bit odd and inconvenient that I'd stopped using WhatsApp. And many companies seem to use WhatsApp to contact their customers (why can't they just email me instead...) and it seems they automatically assume everyone uses it, which I find a bit annoying. But ever since uninstalling it no one has been able to convince me to reinstall it and I plan to keep it that way.

Drink a glass of water during your meals. And make sure you eat enough proteins. High protein diets are very effective.

If you're craving chips, your body is telling you you need carbs. So get them from healthy sources of food instead. If you're craving something like cheese or meat, your body is telling you you need proteins, so make sure you get them from healthy sources of food as well.

Avoid high carb food that doesn't have a lot of nutrients. You will probably still feel hungry afterwards. Go for healthy food that makes you feel full and gives your body a good amount of nutrients.

And remember that healthy food can taste just as good. :)

 

Am I correct in assuming that blocking a community stops it from showing in your feed? I see a lot of posts from communities in languages I don't speak and would like them to not show up on my feed. So I blocked a few, but I'm not 100% sure if what I did has the intended effect.

(Maybe it's just because to me, blocking a person seems like something I wouldn't do to someone who hasn't done anything wrong, haha XD)
